Continue from my previous post of Chinese New Year 2008 in Kuala Lumpur Shopping Malls, One Utama Shopping Centre does not want to lose out either in attracting shoppers by having moderate decorations around its mall but the center stage is decorated heavily. Everywhere you go, you’ll see blocks of Chinese characters where people will gather to pose for pictures. There are many performances daily including Snake Show (WTF?), Chinese Acrobatics and Lion Dance.

Cobra king appears at the wrong time
One thing that amuses me is that why the hell is the Cobra king out to entertain the crowd? Ain’t it the Year of the Rat? And Cobra belongs to the Snake family — Rat’s biggest enemy! ROFLMAO!
Many people love the lion dance

Now, this is what I call ‘cool’. On September 22, 2007, these people were trying to break the record of world’s largest zombie lurch of 894 zombies but failed. Whatever it is, it seems quite fun!
Burning Man is an eight-day-long annual festival that takes place in Black Rock City, Nevada. The event is described by organizers as an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance and takes its name from the ritual of burning a large wooden sculpture of a man on the sixth day.
This year, the event was held from 27th August to 3rd September. The theme for 2007 is “The Green Man”, which anticipated the most participants ever, at 47,097.
